7 | GEN 1:7 | So God made an expanse to divide the waters that were above from the waters that were below. And that's what happened. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | God said, “Let the waters below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened. |
15 | GEN 1:15 | They shall be lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened. |
24 | GEN 1:24 | God said, “Let the land produce living creatures, each one according to its own kind—the livestock, the creatures that run along the ground, and the wild animals, each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened. |
30 | GEN 1:30 | I'm giving all the green plants to all the land animals, to the birds, and to every creature that moves on the earth—to every living thing.” And that's what happened. |
38 | GEN 2:7 | The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being. |
39 | GEN 2:8 | The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created. |
41 | GEN 2:10 | A river flowed out from Eden to water the garden. From there it split into four branches. |
45 | GEN 2:14 | The third branch was called the Tigris and it flowed east of the city of Asshur. The fourth branch was called the Euphrates. |
47 | GEN 2:16 | The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in the garden, |
49 | GEN 2:18 | Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.” |
50 | GEN 2:19 | The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature. |
51 | GEN 2:20 | Adam gave names to all the livestock, all the birds, and all the wild animals. But Adam didn't find anyone like him who could help him. |
52 | GEN 2:21 | So the Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep and as he slept the Lord God removed one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place where he took it with body tissue. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam. |
54 | GEN 2:23 | “Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.” |
56 | GEN 2:25 | Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it. |
64 | GEN 3:8 | Later they heard the Lord walking in the garden in the evening when the breeze was blowing. Adam and Eve went and hid out of sight of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. |
65 | GEN 3:9 | The Lord God called out to Adam, “Where are you?” |
68 | GEN 3:12 | “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit from the tree, and I ate it,” Adam replied. |
73 | GEN 3:17 | He told Adam, “Because you did what your wife told you, and ate fruit from the tree after I ordered you, ‘Don't eat fruit from this tree,’ the ground is now cursed because of you. You will have to work painfully hard to grow food from it throughout your whole life. |
76 | GEN 3:20 | Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to be the mother of all human beings. |
77 | GEN 3:21 | The Lord God made Adam and Eve clothes from animal skins and dressed them. |
79 | GEN 3:23 | So the Lord God expelled them from the Garden of Eden. He sent Adam to cultivate the ground from which he'd been made. |
80 | GEN 3:24 | After he drove them out, the Lord God placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden angels and a sword that flashed in every direction. They were to prevent access to the tree of life. |
81 | GEN 4:1 | Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, “With the Lord's help I have made a man.” |
82 | GEN 4:2 | Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a crop farmer. |
84 | GEN 4:4 | Abel also brought an offering: the firstborn lambs of his flock, selecting the very best parts to offer. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering, |
88 | GEN 4:8 | Later, when Cain was talking with his brother Abel they went out into the fields where Cain attacked his brother and killed him. |
89 | GEN 4:9 | “Where is your brother Abel?” the Lord asked Cain. “How should I know?” he replied. “Am I supposed to be my brother's care-giver?” |
94 | GEN 4:14 | “Look! You're driving me away right now—cursing the ground and banishing me from your presence. I'm going to have to hide and always be on the run, left to wander all over the earth. Anyone who finds me is going to kill me!” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | But the Lord replied, “No, Cain. Anyone who kills you will be punished seven times over.” The Lord placed a mark on Cain so that no one who came across him would kill him. |
97 | GEN 4:17 | Cain slept with his wife and she became pregnant. She had a son named Enoch. At that time Cain was building a town, so he named it after his son Enoch. |
99 | GEN 4:19 | Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was named Zillah. |
100 | GEN 4:20 | Adah had a son named Jabal. He was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock. |
103 | GEN 4:23 | At one time Lamech told his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to me. You wives of Lamech, pay attention to what I have to say. I killed a man because he wounded me; I killed a young man because he injured me. |
105 | GEN 4:25 | Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, “God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed.” |
107 | GEN 5:1 | This is the record of Adam's descendants. When God created human beings, he made them to be like him. |
109 | GEN 5:3 | When Adam was 130, he had a son who was like him, made in his image; and he named him Seth. |
110 | GEN 5:4 | Adam lived another 800 years after Seth was born, and had other sons and daughters. |
111 | GEN 5:5 | Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died. |
122 | GEN 5:16 | After Jared was born, Mahalalel lived another 830 years and had other sons and daughters. |
125 | GEN 5:19 | After Enoch was born, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. |
128 | GEN 5:22 | He had a close relationship with God. After Methuselah was born, Enoch lived another 300 years and had other sons and daughters. |
132 | GEN 5:26 | After Lamech was born, Methuselah lived another 782 years and had other sons and daughters. |
136 | GEN 5:30 | After Noah was born, Lamech lived another 595 years and had other sons and daughters. |
170 | GEN 7:10 | After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth. |
176 | GEN 7:16 | A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him. |
183 | GEN 7:23 | The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark. |
188 | GEN 8:4 | the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month. |
196 | GEN 8:12 | Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him. |
203 | GEN 8:19 | All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together. |
206 | GEN 8:22 | As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.” |
208 | GEN 9:2 | All animals will be very afraid of you—this includes all the birds, all the creatures that run along the ground, and all the fish in the sea. You are in charge of them. |
225 | GEN 9:19 | All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah. |
238 | GEN 10:3 | The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. |
245 | GEN 10:10 | His kingdom began in the cities of Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh, all located in the land of Shinar. |
246 | GEN 10:11 | From there he moved into Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, |
248 | GEN 10:13 | Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites, |
251 | GEN 10:16 | the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, |
252 | GEN 10:17 | the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, |
253 | GEN 10:18 | the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite tribes spread out |
254 | GEN 10:19 | and the territory of the Canaanites stretched from Sidon towards Gerar and all the way to Gaza, then towards Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, all the way to Lasha. |
257 | GEN 10:22 | The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. |
258 | GEN 10:23 | The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. |
259 | GEN 10:24 | Arphaxad was the father of Shelah. Shelah was the father of Eber. |
261 | GEN 10:26 | Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, |
263 | GEN 10:28 | Obal, Abimael, Sheba, |
268 | GEN 11:1 | At that time the whole world spoke just one language and used words with the same meaning. |
269 | GEN 11:2 | As they moved east they discovered a plain in the land of Shinar so they settled there. |
277 | GEN 11:10 | The following is the genealogy of Shem. When Shem was 100, he had Arphaxad. This was two years after the flood. |
278 | GEN 11:11 | Shem lived another 500 years after Arphaxad was born and had other sons and daughters. |
279 | GEN 11:12 | When Arphaxad was 35, he had Shelah. |
280 | GEN 11:13 | Arphaxad lived another 403 years after Shelah was born and had other sons and daughters. |
293 | GEN 11:26 | When Terah was 70, he had Abram, Nahor, and Haran. |
294 | GEN 11:27 | The following is the genealogy of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot. |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Abram and Nahor both got married. Abram's wife was named Sarai, and Nahor's wife was named Milcah. (She was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah). |
298 | GEN 11:31 | Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, (who was the son of Haran), his daughter-in-law Sarai, (the wife of his son Abram), and left Ur of the Chaldeans to move to the land of Canaan. They got as far as Haran and settled there. |
300 | GEN 12:1 | The Lord told Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, your family home, and travel to the country I'm going to show you. |
303 | GEN 12:4 | So Abram left following the Lord's instructions, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 when he left Haran. |
305 | GEN 12:6 | Abram traveled on through the country as far as a place called Shechem, stopping at the oak tree of Moreh. At that time the country was occupied by Canaanites. |
306 | GEN 12:7 | The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I'm going to give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar to the Lord there because that was where the Lord appeared to him. |
307 | GEN 12:8 | Then he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and set up camp there. Bethel was to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar to the Lord there and worshiped him. |
308 | GEN 12:9 | After that he went on his way, heading towards the Negev. |
309 | GEN 12:10 | But the land had been hit by famine. So Abram continued on to Egypt, planning to live there because the famine was so bad. |
310 | GEN 12:11 | As he approached Egypt and was about to cross the border, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are. |
313 | GEN 12:14 | When Abram arrived in Egypt, the people there saw how beautiful Sarai was. |
315 | GEN 12:16 | Pharaoh treated Abram well because of her, giving him sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. |
316 | GEN 12:17 | But the Lord caused Pharaoh and the people in his palace to suffer from terrible diseases because of Sarai, Abram's wife. |
317 | GEN 12:18 | So Pharaoh ordered Abram brought to him and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? |
320 | GEN 13:1 | So Abram left Egypt and went back into the Negev along with Sarai, Lot, and everyone with them, as well as all their possessions. |
321 | GEN 13:2 | Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold. |
322 | GEN 13:3 | He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai. |
